This is driving me crazy!  I cannot get the spelling correct and I know the word!

What is the correct spelling of perinicia?

"....flow signal at the left and right internal carotid arteries, including the internal carotid artery s/l THOUSAND."   

I think everybody has moved on since this word was posted earlier, but I would like to know what this word means and I cannot find it.  Is it an instrument used in brain surgery, a structure in the brain, what, the name of an x-ray, what?  And how did Pugmom find it?  Or did she not find it but found combining forms?  I would be grateful for a helping hand because I am confused. 

CT scan indicated parenchymal hemorrhage in the left "porta porten portamen."

May be stuttering but still have no idea what portamen could be... TIA!!

Someone is talking over the dictator in the background and one section is not clear.  He is saying:

"Negative for intracranial vascular abnormalities.  The s/l SOLID TURSKAR region appears normal.  Negative for mass, mass effect, cerebral edema....."

Because of this dictator's N'Awlin's accent, the second word MAY BE "vascular" but I could not correlate with "solid vascular region" of the brain.  Any help? 

Her repeat EKG showed some atrial flutter.  She had small vessel ischemic changes, significant atrophy but the normal brain otherwise without mass, acute infarct or hemorrhage.

Any ideas?

B-type natriuretic peptide: A 32-amino-acid polypeptide secreted by the ventricles of the heart in response to excessive stretching of myocytes (heart muscles cells) in the ventricles. The levels of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) are elevated in patients with left ventricular dysfunction.

Brain natiuretic peptide (BNP) is a hormone secreted specifically by the left ventricular myocytes. Its concentration is correlated with the severity of symptomatic or asymptomatic left ventricular dysfunction.

The PA is dictating that the patient is s/l *amlical* to having physical therapy before surgery.  OMG I know what she means but it has thrown me for a loop with the way that she said it.  PLEASE help

TIA

I have been out of the loop for a while and need help with the usual verbiage used in a review of systems.  Where can I go to find it?  Please help.  Thanks
